Dat Nguyen Leaves Cowboys

For the last few years the Cowboys had their former standout linebacker Dat Nguyen working on their coaching staff as a defensive effectiveness coach. Well after Nguyen turned down an extension at the end of season the Cowboys suspected they would be losing one of the most underrated players that have ever played for the Cowboys.

Nguyen has been offered a job with Texas A&M, his alma-mater. He will coach their linebackers. Dat was looking for a job similar to that with the Cowboys, but when all the coaches were offered extensions he realized he would need to go somewhere else in order to start gaining that experience.

Nguyen will join Mike Kelly’s staff in an effort to return Texas A&M back to a Big 12 powerhouse.
